In the previous posting I explored the use of layering as used in orietnal art to develop a sense of depth.
In this example I apply both silhouttes and layering in the same shot. The silhouette of the pines is layered in front of the mountains. The pines are offset from the mountains by dodging (lightening) around the edges. As before I used a yellowish hue to provide a sense of the silk material that was often used and to warm up the picture.
In creating this picture I used:
- Lightroom: to establish the exposure; use of paint brush to dodge and burn valleys and mountain edges respectively
- Nik Define: to reduce noise
- Nik Viveza: to brighten colours. I sometime do this prior to converting to black and white to get a better conversion
- Nik Silver Efex: to convert to black and whote
- Adobe Photoshop Elements: to add my seal
